Recipes For Pork Loin Thin Cut

Boneless thin pork chops are also commonly known as pork cutlets. Cutlets are simply thinly sliced pieces of meat. In the case of thin-cut pork chops they typically come from the center loin. You can buy them pre-sliced or slice a center loin with a sharp carving knife.

One of our favorite methods to cook thin-cut chops on the stove top is to give them a quick sear, make a pan sauce and then simmer them in it until just cooked through. It is fast and easy and the pan sauce can be varied every time. For this post we made a creamy honey mustard sauce.

Pork loin thin-cut chops. About half an inch thick, preferably center cut boneless pork chops. They are usually small, so budget two per person.

Flour, salt & pepper. To season and coat the pork cutlets before you sear. As a gluten free alternative to all purpose flour use chickpea flour. Add onion powder or garlic powder if you’d like.

The loin is one of the leanest cuts from the pig and is incredibly easy to overcook. This carries over to thin-cut pork loin chops – they can become dry and tough if you do not handle them correctly.

NOTE: This is not a reheat-friendly dish. Pork loin is so lean that if you were to reheat the cutlets they will become tough. It is better to cook only as many as you need for dinner and enjoy them while still warm, tender and moist. If you must reheat do so on the stove over medium-low heat in a non-stick pan.

Using a bone-in pork chop for this baked pork chop recipe will add cook time to the dish – about another 10-15 minutes (please use the method in this garlic baked pork chop recipe for this oven baked pork chop to bake your thick cut pork after pan frying until it reaches 145 degrees internal temperature.)

Cook quickly. Boneless chops should be cooked very quickly on high heat - you want to sear and brown the outside of the pork chop, and cook the middle without drying it out. Boneless chops are the most commonly used pork chops in quick and easy one pot pork recipes – they are trimmed, often thinner cut pork chops that are commonly presented in a grocer’s bulk pork flat section.

Perfect Pan Seared Pork Chops Recipe

Use a hot pan. Get your pan as hot as possible, and add a small amount of fat (I use clarified butter or avocado oil), and sear each side for 3-4 minutes, until golden brown, and flip to cook on other side.

Check the temperature. If you'd like to check the doneness, and your pork chop is too thin to get an accurate reading with a digital thermometer, you can let the pork chops rest for about five minutes (they continue cooking after removing from heat)

Pork chops can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for four days, or frozen for up to four months.
